This has turned outed to be such a busy weekend! But, I just HAD to squeeze in a little bit of time to create a card. This will have to be a quick post, since we have another commitment, later this afternoon.
Anyway, I saw the colors over at
CR84FN 40 and loved the fall-ish colors. Since I need to make some Thanksgiving cards, these colors fit the bill :) Take a look at the inspiration photos. Gorgeous, huh?
Also, take a minute to read the quote from Steve Jobs, just under the photos.
My card ~
I stamped the tree image onto Confetti Cream cardstock in Chocolate Chip ink. I colored some of the leaves with Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip, More Mustard and Creamy Caramel Stampin' Up! markers. Then, I added Glossy Accents (by Ranger) to some leaves. The sentiment was stamped in Choc. Chip. I love this new set from SU. It's called Hand Penned Holidays. I did a little machine stitching to attach the cream CS to a mat of Early Espresso, then adhered that to a piece of Real Red CS. It's all mounted onto a card base of Crumb Cake (SU's name for kraft). Oh yea, I added a length of brown & cream gingham ribbon, tied in a bow. I like the "country in the fall" look of the card. I hope the recipient likes it, too!
Thanks so much for taking a look.
Supplies:
card stock: confetti cream, real red, early espresso, crumb cake (SU)
ink: ruby red, chocolate chip, more mustard, creamy caramel (SU)
stamps: leaves of a tree, hand penned holidays (SU)
other: glossy accents (Ranger), gingham ribbon (Michaels), thread, sewing machine
Beautiful card. I love your stitching and the ribbon is a perfect touch.
